Understand the equation: Understand the equation.The equation given is 4=4n, which means that n divided by 4 equals 4. To solve for n, we need to isolate n on one side of the equation.
Multiply by 4: Multiply both sides of the equation by 4.To isolate n, we multiply both sides of the equation by 4 to cancel out the division by 4 on the right side. This gives us 4×4=(4n)×4.
Simplify the equation: Simplify both sides of the equation.Simplifying the left side, we get 16. Simplifying the right side, the 4 in the numerator and the 4 in the denominator cancel each other out, leaving us with n. So we have 16=n.
